One thing I've noticed in the 4+ years of working in the UK is that any team social is almost inevitably going to include some sort of quiz. I've also learnt that I am really bad at quizzes 😅

Just removed Google Analytics from my blog. Been sat on the fence for a long time. But then, I've not looked at my analytics in as much time. When I thought of it like that, it was easy.

Today was my final day at my first tech job. I have a lot to say and feeling a lot of emotions, but I think I’m running out of words for now. So here’s some thoughts from other platforms 💜 I’m recharging for the next few weeks before jumping into the exciting future!

Games Workshop is worth 3 times as much to the British economy than Brexit fishing. If you are unaware, one is a popular fantasy game, entrenched in make believe which allows poorly dressed overweight men to play out their wartime fantasies, and the other is Games Workshop.
